How well Happy Trails holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 3°, Happy Trails gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 8,450 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
